I challenge anyone who didn’t instantly know the answer to this question to just skim the scheduling reference handbook. Even just read its table of contents if you’re short on time. A little knowledge will go a very long way in this career.

The November ATL base newsletter gaslights pilots about this. It has an pseudo-admonishment about how "We have seen an increase in pilots missing assigned trips due to the Auto Accept and Auto Acknowledge functions in PCS. Here’s a quick refresher...", without even mentioning how the ACC and ACK blocks have switched, much less how they rolled it out without so much as a peep until weeks after it was in effect.

Yeah, reroute pays 1.5x, if you arrive more than 4 hours late, you'll get single pay / no credit for the rerouted portion on top of the 1.5x. Quite lucrative.

Also the part I bolded isn’t quite correct. If a reroute gets you in more than 4 hours later than originally scheduled (23.L 8 and 9) then you get the entire last duty period paid extra, not just the rerouted legs, in addition to L4 pay. Note, a reserve does not get 23.L.9 pay unless the reroute affects an X day. So a standard reserve assignment over LC days that gets extended on the last day due to RR is not due L9 pay, but the same rotation flown as a GS over X days would.

We have a 276 page document to explain how one section of the PWA works.
The only real way to learn all this stuff is to have something bad happen to you, learn from it, and explain it to others.

Reroutes that affect the last leg of a rotation are gold because then if there is any trip credit that credit pays at the same override (50 or 100%) as the rerouted legs.

Well, a correction to your correction 😉: the part I bolded isn't quite correct. If a RR is scheduled to get you in >4 hours late [25 hours international], then all duty periods starting with the first one affected by the RR through the end of the rotation are paid.
